Question
Looking for artist and song from MTV's heyday...the 80's.

I think the song was called "under the clock" but I am not sure....the band was fronted with a girl who reminded me a lot of Katrina L. from katrina and the waves.

Do you know the name of the artist?  

Answer
Dear Steve,

Hmmm, think I know your song. But it's not actually a band. But the artist uses lots of musicians for her MTV and her recordings. Her name JANEY STREET. The song: UNDER THE CLOCK. It is included on her album from 1984, HEROES, ANGELS & FRIENDS. It peaked at #145 on the Billboard 200 Album Chart on November 24, 1984. The song UNDER THE CLOCK peaked at #18 on the Adult Contemporary Chart on March 30, 1985. Another minor hit from the album, SAY HELLO TO RONNIE peaked at #68 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart on October 20, 1984, her lone Hot 100 hit. Her latest album is called STREET LESS TRAVELED released in 2003.
Sorry, got no lyrics of it!

Maraming salamat po!

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
